Melanie is back with an all new episode covering the case of The Grim Sleeper, Lonnie David Franklin Jr.  Franklin murdered at least 7 women in the mid-1980s and then the murders seems to stop for almost 14 years. He came back with a vengeance in 2002 claiming the lives of more victims but thanks to the advances in DNA technology, Franklin couldn't hide forever. Franklin was captured on July 7th, 2010, ending a more-than 25 year reign of terror in South Central Los Angeles. Stay tuned after the episode for the Another World Audiobooks podcast trailer!
